New York: Crown Forum, 2015. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xv, [1], 319, [1] pages. A note on Presentation. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads For Douglas with best wishes, Charles Murray. DJ has some wear and soiling. Charles Alan Murray (born January 8, 1943) is an American political scientist. Murray earned a BA in history from Harvard University in 1965 and a Ph.D. in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1974. He is the W.H. Brady Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C. Murray's work is highly controversial. His book Losing Ground: American Social Policy, 1950–1980 (1984) discussed the American welfare system. In the book The Bell Curve (1994), he and co-author Richard Herrnstein argue that in 20th century American society, intelligence became a better predictor than parental socioeconomic status or education level of many individual outcomes, including income, job performance, pregnancy out of wedlock, and crime, and that social welfare programs and education efforts to improve social outcomes for the disadvantaged are largely counterproductive. Murray has indicated that he believes that the government is over regulated and has expressed support for disobeying regulations he considers to be unjust. Murray supports having simpler tax codes and decreasing government benefits, which could incentivize childbearing. In June 2016, Murray wrote that replacing welfare with a universal basic income was the best way to adapt to "a radically changing U.S. jobs market" More
